Year: 2013
Notes: wood incense, papyrus, poplar, patchouli, cedar, vetiver, oakmoss, sandalwood
One had great expectations for Monsieur but, in hindsight, one should have known better...
Inspired by "the exploration of a forest" and presumably "dry and green, mixing elements of grass, earth, crisp air currents, and damp stones", one wonders if the wrong press release was issued.
With a very dry structure, it's a derivative woody-incense affair, with cedar, sandalwood and wood incense being the most identifiable notes. The anticipated multifaceted woody cocktail isn't anywhere to be found, any verdant aspects are virtually negligible, and its silky smooth development provides no surprises or quirks.
Put simply, it's a woefully restrained and paltry offering that adds nothing new to this genre.
